@CactuarJoe giant mythological animals!

@CactuarJoe (sorry I'm probably not helping)

@xerozohar It's alright, what I need now is some rest. The rest of what I need will come in time ^^

Second to last set of Island proxies, we're getting into the abstract now

(incidentally, sleeping worked, I woke up and did six new cards :P)

(seriously you gotta let your brain regenerate if you wanna do art, stop trying to run an engine on no gas)

@CactuarJoe now we're talking!

Alright, all the cards are done. I'm only gonna post one set a day tho, to avoid overloading everyone's timeline

....now i wanna draw another deck >_>

@CactuarJoe

@meredeth I've got some bristol left over, I could do it nice :3

@CactuarJoe and not to say this out loud, but my fancy letterpress magazine has a whole section on how to carve your own stamps and use them in the press, so..............

@meredeth ...See I was just wondering how hard it would be to make a set of stamps for the mana symbols >_>

@CactuarJoe dead simple. they're not overly complicated. how small you want em?

@meredeth Hm. That's a good question. Let me do some research real quick.

@CactuarJoe im think half an inch might be the upper (lower?) limit. especially the fire one, it's got extra bits that'll be hard.

@meredeth Mm. The ones I've been drawing are about a quarter of an inch. Half an inch would be huge on a 3''x4'' card

100lb vellum bristol is pretty close to Magic cardstock and fits in the deck protectors very nicely. I think this might work

I think I'll redo a couple of the proxies I made for my Commander deck first and see how they feel mixed with standard cards. If they're good, I'll make a whole deck

making proxies is fun

Cutting heavy paperboard for the first time in years and making mistakes has me nostalgic. I keep hearing my art professor using his favorite phrase -- "You stupid kid!"
